Have you ever felt that there was a time to go all in? Like you are on the edge of something great and just need to take one more step? Or, maybe you feel like there’s something better for you, something fantastic but you can’t quite see it. Well, I can see it and will show you how to get there. I call it Freedom Fighting because it means you are finally breaking free from the things that have kept you from having the life you want.
One of my specialties is seeing what’s in people’s blind spots. You’d be surprised how many different kinds of people I help, from high-powered CEO types to incredibly talented creative-types, by pointing out what seems obvious to me but has been hindering them for months or even years.
It goes without saying that these issues can cost them a lot of money. Sometimes millions. One conversation with me can turn that around (tooting own horn sound).
The reason I’m good at this is that for the last thirty years I have been starting companies, creating strategies for other people’s companies and traveling the world, all in search of freedom and adventure. I have a ton of experience to draw on and helping people regain their freedom is the most fun I can have sitting down. OK, maybe not but it’s close.
If you want to save millions, or just break free from your own pain and suffering then call me.
If you’re still wondering if this is right for you then read this:
My clients are business leaders, entrepreneurs, athletes, rock stars and adventurous people who are ready for change and want more for themselves and those they love. We dig into their work, their passions and the responsibilities that pull them in multiple directions.
I connect the dots between their greatest strengths and opportunities, call out their distractions and plug them into an incredible, confidential support network of equally talented high-achievers. Together we find the language to articulate a new vision for the day, month, year or life and create a plan to make it happen.
To me freedom means living the kind of life I want today and not waiting for the promise of tomorrow. Friends say I’m living the dream. I say I choose it.
If you’re ready to choose your freedom I am ready to help.

I was taking a walk with a client of mine along the seaside. He was asking some questions about his work about a specific issue that has been concerning him for 6 years. I shared a perspective about his situation and then he was talking allowed trying to make sense of it and the truth came out of what was driving his actions.
He stood back and he said: “Wow, you just have a way of bringing the real truth out, and you didn’t say very much. How do you do it?"

Hi!
My name is kevin and i am a 25 y/o guy from sweden. After winning competitions and being ranked #1 salesman in different firms i am now looking to teach others the art of selling.
See the sad truth is that when somebody thinks of selling they think of a dishonest salesman thats trying to manipulate a customer to buying something. (Like the brokers on wallstreet)
Well im here to tell you the truth. That method might get you a sale every now and then but it will not build a longterm relationship with the customer and you will be known as the "annoying salesman" and building a relationship is the most important thing when selling a product to a customer.
But how do you build a relationship with a customer so you become their go to person? And how do you know when to listen and when to sell during a conversation with a customer?
Theese questions and more i what im here for.
Kind regards
Kevin
